The Perfect Balance of Talent at Unitalk

Three Jobs Growth Wales employees are inviting businesses in South Wales to help and sponsor their new project to 'keep children safe online’. Harriet Horne, Lucy Richards and Bhavia Perushotharmen have been taken on by Unitalk Ltd, a technology and software company with an office in Cardiff. They have been given a great opportunity by the Jobs Growth Wales programme to learn valuable new skills and continue the employment after 6 months. As a special initiative in line with their strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibly, the CEO has offered them an opportunity to head up a project that addresses an ever increasing problem of Internet safety and the dangers that can face children.

The three girls have a variety of talents which compliment each other perfectly. Lucy is developing the business and keeping a careful eye on the structure and project finances, Harriet is running the administration and Bhavia is responsible for putting together a website and collaborating online advertising with their sponsors. The girls are on their second month with JGW and their aim is to work with businesses around South Wales gaining sponsorship, support and raising funds to build a totally safe online community for children. The project has established great links with local organisations who focus on cyber bullying and delivering workshops to schools. In return the group are giving their sponsors massive advertising and PR opportunities via their fundraising magazine, website, newsletters and by working with their staff.

Unitalk has already had experience with building safe websites and their Smileytalk website won South Wales innovation of the year award in 2012 .

Harriet said " Not only has the Jobs Growth Wales programme given me a really interesting job but I feel that I am doing something that helps our community and addresses the important issue of keeping children safe online."

Lucy commented “We loved our core training with Unitalk and hope we are successful in securing a job shortly. We are meeting so many interesting businesses who want to offer their support and I feel that my confidence has really increased since starting work.”

If you would like to know more or offer your support , maybe sponsor their project or provide help in other areas please contact the girls on 02920 003 002

Testimonials

"We started working with Purple Futures in Merseyside in January 2016. 3SC were involved from the start, providing a reporting and monitoring platform that significantly helped us to ensure not only that we had robust procedures to evidence outcomes properly, but also that those procedures grew with the contract, and were flexible to the needs of our learners.
Our contract monitoring lead at 3SC was Karen Ballentyne and I cannot speak too highly of her support throughout. Not only was she crucial in ensuring that compliance standards were met, but she also got involved in the courses we ran, making sure she understood the nuances of our delivery, where the stress lines existed with the wider partnership and providing advice and contacts that enabled us to address issues and resolve problems. Without this unique provision, ensuring the smooth implementation and ongoing delivery of the project would have been much harder.

"We have worked with 3SC on the SES programme since the very beginning, October 2015. They have been supportive throughout the term and have helped us to deliver the best possible service to our clients. With their help we have been able to engage with clients who we wouldn’t otherwise have been able to reach and have helped these people develop and move forward to ultimately achieve their individual goals.

Rachel Shaw - Project Co-Ordinator, Beacon Centre for the Blind

"Delivering the SES contract has been our first formal relationship with 3SC and it has allowed our organisation to branch out into additional Welfare to Work delivery alongside our Work Choice and other contracts. Our relationship with 3SC has been very open and honest and we feel that we have gained a lot whilst also helping 3SC to develop the programme and the structure of the contract, for the benefit of our customers. We look forward to new opportunities where we can work in partnership and make best use of our skills and experience of supporting disabled and disadvantaged people into sustainable employment.

"The Society of St James has been working with 3SC for a couple of years now.
I have found the support and guidance from Jo Rowe invaluable as to providing structure and advice in the collation and recording of information.
This in turn has helped me immensely in fine tuning our service and to be able to see at a glance where our strengths and weaknesses lie.
Thanks to advice given, I have been able to improve the monitoring of my teams and implement positive changes in areas such as support planning and risk assessments.
I also feel that this partnership experience has improved my professional capacity as a manager and feel more confident in leading a team and providing a quality service to our clients
"

Mark Gray - Team Leader, Society of St James

"We are delighted to partner with 3SC as they truly understand the need to be innovative, robust and open. As a technology partner this is a most refreshing and enlightened approach.
The key factor in our successful relationship is 3SC’s holistic approach to technology by concentrating on the ‘big picture’ as they are prepared to trust us and happy to work through the detail when necessary.
